Having your truck damaged
Having your truck damaged in an accident, fire, or as the result of theft or
vandalism can be heartbreaking. That truck is your means to make a living. If it
can't run, you can't work. Who's going to pay for this?!In the case that the
damage is repairable, you may find yourself saddled with a huge financial
burden--truck insurance or not. Repair to trucks can cost thousands of dollars
and can cripple a small business or independent hauler. That is, if the damage
is repairable.
What if, God forbid, you truck is totaled?I Have Liability
Coverage. Isn't That Enough?By federal law, all commercial vehicles are required
to carry a liability truck insurance policy to cover the cost of any damages
they may inflict on another vehicle or person. So if you damage someone's
vehicle cause them bodily harm in an accident, the other person(s) will have
their expenses covered and property replaced. Don't you want that same coverage
for you and you own property?Thankfully, there is a type of commercial truck
insurance designed to cover your personal property damage costs called physical
damage insurance.Physical Damage InsurancePhysical damage insurance will cover
the cost of damage to your truck up to an amount specified in your policy.
This
coverage will take care of the costs associated with on the job accidents,
regardless of fault. This way, you know that whether or not you are the cause of Wholesale
Electric Lift Table Truck Manufacturers a collision, you know that you are
covered.In addition, you are also covered when the truck is not running. For
example, you may stop at a truck stop to grab a bite to eat only to come back
and find that your rig has been stolen. Your insurance will cover the cost of
replacing the truck or repairing it if it is recovered.A Real Life Truck
Insurance AnecdoteI have personally faced the devastating impact of a
hit-and-run accident without having any physical damage. My vessel's driver side
door and front tire had been smashed, and I had no physical damage coverage to
clean up the mess. The combination of anger and heartache was dizzying.
Truth be
told, if I would've had the coverage to take care of it, I could have
immediately brushed it off and still had a nice day. Instead my heart hurt for
hours as I calculated the unfortunate damage to my truck. Never again. That's
all I can say. Never again.Your truck is your way of life. And streets and
highways are wrought with distracted drivers, including you. No matter what
happens, or who is at fault, physical damage insurance can give peace of mind to
any motorist. It basically covers all of those "what ifs". Like, what if you hit
a low bridge like all those truck videos on YouTube?
